Then something just awful happened. We had an old railroad tie retaining wall down the whole side of our lot, and it needed to be replaced. So we had some guys come out and put in a flagstone wall. Unfortunately, they made a real mess. They dug down 5 feet and turned up the worst stuff I've ever seen--boulders, caliche clods, those giant nails, ancient old aluminum cans. They piled it all on my lawn, 2-3 feet deep in some places, all the way down from the street to the alley. And then... they abandoned the job!
